My aunt gives all of my cousins melatonin supplements before bed (idk the dosage but it's one gummy per night). She has been doing this for years. I have 4 cousins, but some of them to be on the shorter side (for their age). They are all 14 and under. Do you think this may have contributed to them being shorter? Because I think melatonin delays puberty. Does delayed puberty make kids taller?

For example, the oldest:

Age (14.5): 5'6
 
melatonin shouldn't be the issue here

There isn't really that much evidence behind melatonin delaying puberty, it needs more research and it isn't certain, either way, what's more important is their genetics.
